The Jesup Sentinel says; “The editor
will be all right .in the hereafter, but
' just think of the man who doesn’t pay
bis subscription."
Un. William Redmond has been se
lected as the Psrneliite candidate for the
parliamentary seat for Cork made va
cant by the death of Ur. Parnell.
The New York Sun continues to at
tack Cleveland and the Farmers' Alii
ance with the utmost impartiality. It is
hard te tell which one of these two is
most repugnant to the soul of Editor
Dana.
Seventeen men have already been

Steamers which arrived in New York
from Europe Sunday and Monday
brought $1,.>50,000 in gold. The total
received from Europe to date is $17,040,-
000. At tHs rate, all the gold which
went abroad during the summer will
soon return, and the scare that silver
was driving it out will be proven to be
without foundation.
PA It TOM, THE HISTORIAN.
The death of James Parton, the histo
rian, removes a prominent literary char
acter from life. His lives of Greely,
Aaron Burr, Andrew Jackson, and other
prominent Americans were works of su
perior merit. His most pretentious work
was his Life of Voltoiso recently pub
lished. His wife was the well-known
“Fanny Fern,” who was no less well
known in literary circles than her hus
band.
Ptrton was commissioned a few years
ago by the Harpers to write a life of
Washington, that was regardless of ex
pense, to be the greatest and most accu
rate and reliable bistory of the father of
bis country ever written. Parton went
to Virginia, and after months of careful
investigation of letters and other volu
minous data about Washington, he re
turned to the Harpers and tbrew up his
commission, explaining to these aston
ished publishers that if he wrote a
truthful history of Washington and the
Harpers printed it, both writer and pub
lishers would be mobbed by the Ameri
can people.
He asid that Washington'! private cor
respondence showed him to be a man of
such loose moral character, that the
shock to popular sentiment would be too
great; and that the actual truth could
not be told to • people who bad been
taught to raveie him as a model man in
all respects.
The Harpers were satisfied that Par-
ten’s report was reliable; and so the
great life of Washington remained un
written.

Tilt Irish World says, in a recent
editorial: “But whatever may
) told for or against him, Parnell is
gone; but Ireland remalna, and her
cause remains; and all true sons of Ire
land will now come together as brethren,
heal their mothcr’a wounds, and in tbo
spirit ot union and concord push on and
complete the work of ter redemption.
God have mercy on Parnell! God save
Ireland!"
glut ltrunswtck Times says: “The
Atlanta <1- Florida railroad is expected to
come to Brunswick. It is claimed that
arrangements have already been made
for the money necessary to com
plete it Recently great Improve
ments have been made in Its equipments.
New crossties have been put down,
Bridges and treaties have been repaired
and the roadbed la said to be In excel-
1 ent condition. The lndioatlans are that
the Atlanta A Florida will now be op
erated under more favorable auspices
than ever before.
The many admirers of Mrs. Mary E.
Bryan will be glad to hear that she will
• return to Atlanta soon and will make
Georgia her home again. She will, In
conjunction with Mr. C. P. Byrd, start a
literary magazine. She and Mr. Byrd
have purchased the Old Homestead of
Savannah, which formerly enjoyed a fair
measure of prosperity. Mrs. Bryan will
have editorial charge of the magazine
and Mr. Byrd will control the business
department. They constitute a very
strong team. That Mrs. Bryan will
achieve a brilliant success la the belief
and wish of her coantleu admirers.—

Ati organized effort 1* under way
among the farmers to secure from con
gress free null service in country towns.
The Farmers' Alliance, Patrons of Hus
bandry and other orders are oanraasteg
the matter.* Letters are being written
to congressmen In favor of the project,
and petitions to congress for free deliv
ery are being circulated In meny parte
of the oountry. The farmers assert that
• dally mall delivery at the door will add
pwoeptibty to the money value of their
farms, and will be worth still more bo-
caase it wlU keep them la touch with
the markets and the outride world and
divest farm life of its isolation and mo
notony. Farmers are writing to the ag
ricultural press that this convenience
would enable thoin quite gfcntnlly to
take a dally paper as well as to aabacrike
for the local papers'more liberally.
A COTTON FACTORY.
What step do our people next propose
to take to promote the growth and pros
perity of Americus? What about Hie
cotton factory that has been discussed
off and on for two years? Why should
It not now be pushed through? Can
anything be done that will pay a better
return on the investment and turn more
money loose In this community?
Here are some figures that are worth
considering:
A pound of cotton that costs say
eight to nine cents makes four yards of
osnaburgs or checks that sell for eight
to twelve cents per yard, or a value cre
ated in manufacturing of 2:1 to 40 cents
per pound. This margin goes to buy
labor, and thus build up trade, pay cur
rent expenses, etc., and pay a dividend
on the capital.
Even if the investment paid no direct
dividends the merchants of Americas
could afford to build a cotton factory for
the increased volume of trade that the
one thousand more people brought here
would create. A few shares each by all
the merchants of Americus would do
the work, to say nothing of Investments
by capitalists, for It la well known that,
properly managed, cotton manufactur
ing right in the field la a very profitable
business.
, Let’s have a cotton factory!
THE ABLE ASSISTANT.
In a recent number of the New York
Journalist that paper takea the ground
that the shear* are quite as Important at
times as the quill. It says:
“A good many people do not know
that an editor's selections from bis con
temporaries are quite often the best teat
of his editorial ability, and that the
funetion of the scissors la not merely to
fill up vacant spaces, but to reproduce
the brightest and best thought* and the
moat attractive news from all the sources
at the editor's command. There are
times when the editor opens his ex
change and finds a feast for eyes, heart,
ana soul. The thoughts of hli contem
porary glow with life. lie wishes his
roadera to enjoy the feast, and he lov
ingly takes up the scissors and clips and
clips, and sighs to think that his space
la inadequate to contain all the treasures
so prodigally spread before him. After
all the true test of a newspaper's real
value Is not the amount ot original mat
ter it contains, but the average quality
ot all the matter appearing in ita col
umns, whether original or selected,”
A cable to the New York Herald
from China says that the Russians have
invaded Chinese territory. A frontier
oft.cer at Chang reports that be re
cently met* Russian expedition descend
ing the Alai plateau, and that he pro
tested against this Invasion of Chinese
territory, but the Russians, being In
greater force than the Chinese, disre
garded the protest and continued their
march. One division of Russians pro
ceeded to Aliehar, Id the Pamir territo
ry, aud another division marched toward
the Great Pamir territory. The Novoe
Vremya, the Russian government organ,
say* that a meeting between the Kni-
sians sod the British Id Pamir was inev
itable, adding: “British incursions and
Afghan and Chinese raids, violating the
conventions forbidding them access to
Pamir, now make it Imperative to deter
mine the exaet frontier. Russian diplo
macy would find no difficulty in estab
lishing auzerian rights over the terri-
toiy.” n - - f Cl
A SAVINGS BANK.
The following from the Dawson News
Is applicable to other towns besides
Dswson; and it is reproduced because
its facts are such as to commend them
selves to the wise men of Americus who
know that the prosperity of the working
classes is the prosperity of the commu
nity.
As two or more new banks a-e to be
organized here, they might bear in mind
the benefits of a savings bank feature
and take the proper steps to inaugurate
one.
We have i o savings bank in Dawiion, but
we ouKht to have one. Home one or mora of
our local banks might add this feature, and
do a good baldness, and prove a benefit to
the people who nev«*r bave money to bank,*
but who could put away a dollar a week, or
more, tnd draw interest on the same. The
laboring classes need something of thin kin i.
An institution of this kind, run In connec
tion wltb a bank in a town In Georg! •, ad
vertise* for deposits, aud displays this kind
ofa ( table which gives the Idea directly to
those many people who might be Induced to
commence saving small amounts. “Read

“and ask yoarself If any man need be poor”:

MR. EniSON'S LATEST.
Mr, Thomas A. Edison, though still a
young man, has already made the world
and all coming time his debtors by the
blessings he has conferred upon man
kind. Should his wonderful genius stop
its activity here and now his title to be
the greatest benefactor of bis kind would
be seenro. ,
But the Wizard of Menlo Park is ap
parently juat entering upon that career
of achievement which is to dazzle and
benefit the world. His latest invention
bids fair to revolutionize travel as much
as It was revolutionized when the loco
motive superseded the stage coach.
He promises us an electric motor that
wilt do away the noiaa and dirt of the
steam engine and give us a railway speed
of a hundred miles an hour—a speed
which will niako the mile a minute of to
day seem slow and unendurable.
Not only that, but local travel in our
city is to bo equally Improved—no horse
cars, no cable lines, no trolley system,
no storage battery device, no elevated
steam engines.
Let us hope that Mr. Edison's latest
invention will prove as successful as he
promises.—NeW York Herald.

PROGRESSIVE GEOGRAPHY.
Here la the latest geography lesson
from the Athens’Banner:
“Why Is Georgia the Empire State?
“Because she has a strong Constitu
tion, thus being able to hold her Banner
higher than her sister states.
‘Why Is she the most progressive
state?
“Because Atlanta Heralds the bright,
happy Times that cornea wltb the latest
Savannah News about deep water on the
coast, and the Enquirer-Sun lights up
the future with its inspecting lays.
Americus, the Recorder of good limes,
gives further evidence that this answer
Is correct.
“Why are her people the best in
formed of nil the people who inhabit the
earth?
Because Augusta Chronicles The,
News of the world enoh day and Heralds
it to the people.
“Why la she the wisest state In the
union?
“Because she has a Tribune of Rome
to counsel her.
“Get the next lesson.”

313 LAMAR STREET,
A Pul la Delphi an, who is a student
of human nature, as well as a close ob
server of femiuiuity, made some pecu
liar statistics while sojourning at the
popular seaside resort, Atlantic City,
the past summer. He found that the
girls with the blackest eyes came from
Rochester. The most blondes are from
Cleveland. Those with the largest nos
es come from Harlem. The most bow-
legged girls come from New York, while
Brooklyn girls have tbo most shapely
arms, but many of them are knock-
kneed. San Francisco turn* out the
largest per centage ot fine-looking, big
women, while Philadelphia contributes
the most all-rouod pretty girls. Camden
has an unusual number of redheaded
girls, and Pittsburgh girls hare the larg
est ears.
